Story

The player is the captain of the hometown basketball team. Before he could prepare his team to win the All-American Championship, he started to have strange dreams about playing basketball in exotic locations against exotic creatures.

Gameplay

Map

Dunk animation

The game is a 5-on-5 basketball game where the player attempts to defeat various teams based on monsters from Japanese mythology. Matches are not broken down into quarters; instead, players choose between a 15-minute game, a 30-minute game, or a 45-minute game. The clock ticks down faster than real time. The active team member is indicated with an arrow and moved with the D-Pad. Each match begins with a tip-off where a player from each team tries to jump with to obtain possession of the ball.

On defense, the player can try to steal the ball when near a member of the opposing team with . The player can change the current team member with . The other members of the team flash in sequence, and control changes to whichever player is currently flashing.

On offense, the player can pass the ball with . The other members of the team flash in sequence, and the ball is passed to whichever player is currently flashing. The player jumps by pressing . While in the air, the player can shoot the ball by pressing again or pass it with . The key to making baskets is correctly timing the amount of time in the air. Too little and the shot is too low or too short; too much and the ball overshoots. Shots from within the three-point line are worth two points; shots from outside it are worth three points. If the player is near the basket when the shot is made, the game sometimes plays a special, full-screen dunking animation. When the player takes possession of the ball (after the opposing team makes a basket or commits a foul), the player can choose to pass it to any team member.

In single-player mode, the player faces each team of monsters in sequence and must have a higher score when time is called to advance to the next team. If the game ends in a defeat or a draw, it must be replayed to continue. In two-player mode, the monsters are not available and players can only play as human teams of various countries. Each player must select a different team. There is also a CPU vs. CPU mode where the player can watch the computer play itself.

Several basketball fouls can be called, including traveling (moving without dribbling, usually committed when the player jumps but fails to shoot or pass), charging (the player with the ball intentionally collides with a defender), and pushing (the defending player intentionally colliding with the ball handler). Committing a foul awards possession of the ball to the opposing team.
